one key to constant happiness - improve a little on something

Tweet

It is amazing that some people, rich or poor, may get bored doing the same old things. Someone suggested that the solution to be constantly happy is to constantly work at improving one's ability to help one's self and others. I remember a story of a young child who wanted to try new things in the family printing shop. He would make toys and imagine things like all young people did. Soon he was learning to fix machines and to make the story short, he became a very successful businessman doing precision mechanical fixtures. When times became difficult, he continued to improve his capability by learning new technologies and software. There is a saying: "if we keep on improving our ability do, no matter how little each day, we'll wake up one day and be amazed at the huge result" There is also a saying:"The greatest reward for our toil is not what we get for it but, rather, what we become by it." - J.Ruskin Cheers
